if_o a_o woman_n will_v balk_v such_o a_o command_n and_o either_o out_o of_o a_o present_a humour_n or_o out_o of_o a_o carnal_a conceit_n at_o first_o that_o she_o can_v lead_v and_o rule_v a_o

the_o like_a duty_n of_o subjection_n as_o if_o he_o be_v the_o most_o complete_a husband_n of_o a_o thousand_o like_v i_o say_v for_o kind_n although_o not_o for_o measure_n for_o tell_v i_o poor_a

to_o imagine_v when_o god_n have_v impose_v a_o yoke_n upon_o thou_o to_o tame_v thy_o rebellion_n that_o he_o will_v at_o thy_o instance_n turn_v it_o to_o a_o contentment_n of_o thy_o selflove_n what_o singular_a thing_n do_v thou_o in_o submit_v thyself_o to_o excellency_n and_o part_n in_o a_o husband_n be_v it_o not_o for_o thyself_o and_o who_o shall_v find_v out_o such_o a_o husband_n for_o thou_o who_o thou_o may_v not_o except_v against_o as_o defective_a in_o some_o kind_n or_o other_o know_v then_o that_o god_n have_v ordain_v subjection_n to_o a_o husband_n as_o a_o husband_n b●e_v he_o what_o he_o may_v he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o thou_o have_v though_o fit_a and_o therefore_o one_o who_o god_n have_v think_v fit_a to_o receive_v thy_o subjection_n if_o he_o have_v but_o indifferent_a part_n and_o ability_n and_o not_o many_o man_n gift_n unite_v in_o one_o then_o consider_v he_o have_v but_o the_o defect_n of_o one_o and_o who_o be_v thou_o o_o woman_n have_v thou_o the_o perfection_n of_o many_o woman_n therefore_o look_v upon_o thy_o own_o defect_n and_o thy_o husband_n will_v be_v oversee_v count_n thy_o own_o part_n but_o ordinary_a and_o thy_o

the_o sake_n of_o he_o who_o have_v subject_v thou_o if_o thou_o obey_v for_o a_o command_n sake_n there_o be_v thank_v or_o if_o not_o then_o for_o necessity_n sake_n and_o woe_n to_o thou_o in_o both_o respect_n if_o thou_o be_v not_o subject_a a_o minister_n be_v command_v to_o preach_v and_o watch_v for_o conscience_n sake_n not_o for_o live_v or_o by_o respect_n a_o subject_n have_v not_o that_o name_n for_o that_o he_o obey_v those_o law_n of_o his_o prince_n which_o please_v he_o but_o because_o his_o prince_n command_v except_o he_o will_v endure_v the_o penalty_n annex_v if_o then_o either_o a_o minister_n or_o subject_n will_v look_v at_o god_n whether_o gain_n or_o no_o gain_n whether_o good_a prince_n or_o unjust_a and_o obey_v or_o else_o wo_n to_o both_o then_o look_v

but_o there_o be_v a_o exception_n to_o some_o kind_n of_o subjection_n if_o thy_o husband_n stretch_v his_o authority_n beyond_o god_n bound_n then_o and_o only_o then_o thou_o be_v permit_v to_o

herself_o so_o far_o as_o be_v meet_v to_o go_v to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o acknowledge_v his_o sovereignty_n in_o all_o lawful_a meet_a thing_n to_o give_v a_o modest_a reason_n of_o her_o refusal_n

whether_o it_o be_v meet_v herein_o to_o obey_v god_n or_o you_o judge_v you_o so_o that_o herein_o there_o must_v be_v wise_a caution_n use_v that_o neither_o she_o straighten_v her_o husband_n power_n nor_o yet_o enlarge_v her_o husband_n tyranny_n of_o her_o obedience_n to_o it_o for_o to_o digress_v a_o little_a not_o only_o the_o husband_n may_v press_v the_o subjection_n of_o a_o wife_n in_o thing_n arbitrary_a but_o even_o in_o the_o omission_n of_o some_o command_n a_o example_n of_o both_o will_v clear_v it_o two_o fashion_n of_o apparel_n be_v offer_v to_o a_o woman_n equal_o

will_v hearken_v to_o no_o reason_n but_o urge_v upon_o she_o his_o fashion_n she_o must_v be_v obedient_a and_o deny_v she_o own_o for_o conscience_n sake_n again_o put_v case_n the_o husband_n require_v his_o wife_n at_o such_o a_o time_n to_o forbear_v the_o hear_n of_o a_o good_a sermon_n and_o to_o hear_v another_o at_o another_o congregation_n or_o to_o forfeit_v the_o hear_n of_o the_o
